Preview of Cara & Patrick’s Mont-Tremblant Wedding

Flower selections for a winter wedding

This weekend is very exciting as it is our first wedding of the season: Cara & Patrick’s wedding in Mont-Tremblant!

With an elegant wintery chic look, we are here to give you a taste of the color scheme. Dusty pinks, greys, silvery greeneries and fluffy feathers for soft vintage style!

With Gen leaving for set-up Friday, we will have tones of pictures for you beginning of next week, looking forward to sharing this great project with all of you!

De Simples Orchidées Dendrobium Blancs

Orchidées Dendrobium Blancs

Si vous connaissez moindrement notre style, vous saurez surement à quel point nous adorons la simplicité dans nos arrangements floraux.

L’effet d’impact que crée l’amoncellement d’une seule sorte de fleur à l’intérieur d’un bouquet ou arrangement nous inspire énormément! Ces orchidées dendrobium blancs qui, mélangées à d’autres sortes de fleurs, peuvent être moins intéressantes, sont ici spectaculaires en groupe avec une base de feuilles de monstera et de salal.

Faites l’essaie et n’oubliez pas, la simplicité est souvent la clé d’un design réussi!

A Dream Wedding with Principal Planner

FLower arrangement for Principal Planner

Working with Azar at Principal Planner this year has been nothing but a charm and we are so happy she approched us with this colorful and luxurious wedding. To dream of a contract like this would be an understatement, Gen and I are so thrilled to be a part of this stunning project!

The indications were simple: the bride LOVES flowers, quality before quantity, an arabian night color scheme and the incorporation of the national flowers of Egypt for the groom (we used papyrus) and Russia for the bride (since camomille isn’t in our color pallett but it is in the chrysanthemum family, we chose to use green santinis instead).

Here is a preview of the wedding flowers in sketches, we can’t wait to show you pictures, but you’ll have to be patient … the wedding is only in August! Stay posted!

Hockey theme Bar Mitzvah Part 2

Centerpiece for a Bar Mitzvah

Like we promised on wednesday, here is the second part of our hockey themed Bar Mitzvah!

It is often a dilemma, when talking centerpieces for a party, to chose between tall or low centerpieces. Some may love the impact a tall centerpiece will give to a room, while others are scarred it will block the view and prevent the two guests facing each other from making good conversation.

This situation actually applied to this project, as the boy’s mother prefered tall, and the father, low! The solution: to do half and half. It was important for the two centerpieces to stay in the same line, again using an arrangement of big monstera leaves and salal leaves inside a round low vase containing green apples and hockey pucks.

We love to mix and match height for events, it always looks so chic and dynamic!

Hockey theme Bar Mitzvah Part 1

Hockey theme Bar Mitzvah arrangement

Last weekend was a boy’s Bar Mitzvah who simply loves hockey! Our challenge was to incorporate that theme in our centerpieces, a hard task to keep elegant and not tacky look …

We used tall cylinder vases with an arrangement of monstera leaves, accordeon leaves and salal leaves on top. The inside of the vase was filled by a branch of curly willow, and at the bottom … hockey pucks and green apples! What a suttle, fun and modern way to give a hockey twist to a masculine floral arrangement.

To create a more dynamic design, we decided to play with heights and to do half the centerpieces tall and the rest low, stay tuned for our ’’Hockey Themed Bar Mitzvah Part 2’’ low centerpiece design!

Flower Sketches: A Very Green Week!

sketches for our two new clients!

This week has been very green at O.xide Design as we created 2 different quotes for 2 corporate events which required green flowers and leaves mainly!

The first one, for a fashion show, is using our famous birch troncs with big accordeon leaves and white hydrangeas. The look had to be very modern, simple, yet showy.

The second one had an actual environment theme, so green, green and green was the only way to go! We used green anthuriums, green dendrobium orchids, green hydrangeas as well as big monstera and accordion leaves.

Let’s hope this green can brighten up this sad rainy and swowy week we are having!
